The close of an exceptionally wintry spring semester here in the Boston area brings with it final exams, summer transitions and, for seniors, the excitement of Commencement, as well as thoughts about post-college life. Our lead story showcases the resources and services that are available to our students and young alumni through our Career Center. This issue of Parent Update also highlights eight Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences (MCA&S) alumni mentors as they reflect on how their own liberal arts education prepared them for the professional world. As always, I wish you and your student all the best, and extend my warmest congratulations to parents of graduating seniors.
